Emerging Writers

Author Jan Carson will be in conversation with some of Ireland’s most exciting emerging authors. The Red Bird Sings by Aoife Fitzpatrick is a searing feminist historical Gothic fiction that confronts urgent issues of the present day. Catfish Rolling by Clara Kumagai is a story that blends magic-realism with Japanese myth and legend. Perpetual Comedown by Declan Toohey is a contemporary yarn of academic intrigue and youthful irreverence, sexual fluidity and neurodiversity.
